Connectivity options

Your computer has built-in connectivity options, enabling you to hook up to a network or communicate over a phone line.

Ethernet and LAN

The integrated network feature allows you to connect your computer to an Ethernet-based (10/100 BASE-T) network.

To use the network feature, plug an Ethernet cable into your computer's network jack, and then connect the other end to a network jack or hub on your network.

See Windows Help and Support for information on setting up a network connection.
